While many organizations today are adopting cloud computing for the cost-cutting and speed-to-market benefits, they will not reap maximum results unless they create a road map for integrating cloud technologies in a broader IT strategy.

IT departments are likely to see their roles gradually shift as business units turn directly to cloud-based solutions. They are likely to experience increased demand for security, procurement, data and similar services.

TradeMax consultancy on Cloud Computing Strategy aims to provide C-level answers about the topic, such as:

What is the cloud computing reality and what is hype?
Which are my options in adopting cloud computing?
What should be my concerns about privacy and regulation?
Are my mission-critical applications candidates for cloud? Which other applications are?

To gain greater agility, transparency and cost control, leading CIOs are embracing an emerging opportunity: migrating their application portfolios to the cloud.

But to maximize the returns from moving to the cloud, Accenture recommends that IT organizations first optimize their application portfolios, which involves analyzing the portfolios to identify the applications that are best suited to the cloud. They can then create a plan for transforming operating models and the IT organization to become much more cloud-friendly.Benefits of the Cloud Application System
